OP - let us know if you need any other questions answered. Chris, yeah, I'm aware. I've had some luck on other platforms to get older drivers to function adequately. It's a bear working with older hardware. The steep discount from buying off-lease equipment does come at a cost.
If you've actually used the idrac virtual console, you'd know this. See the screenshot in my earlier post. Again, not a show stopper, just a mild annoyance.

I'll agree here in that iDrac is not dependant on the OS ,the whole point of it is to access the server with or without an operating system installed I also wonder why you are running bare metal OS in the first place.
Unrelated to the video driver - or lack thereof. Thanks for the replies guys, but Hyper-V is it's own OS and does not have a GUI so resolution would be irrelevant as it's all command line I am still of the opinion that the OS should have no baring on the remote resolution over drac, since if no OS was installed you couldn't possibly use a driver, and you still get a display to install an OS.

Get drivers and downloads for your Dell PowerEdge R Download and install the latest drivers, firmware and software. The downside to flashing firmwares is it can be a tedious process, first figuring out which firmwares apply to what servers and then getting the time for the installs and reboots.
Dell has really streamlined this process with their LifeCycle Controller which is available right off the BIOS boot menu and reaches directly out to Dells FTP servers, only downloading exactly what is needed for that particular chassis.
Sounds awesome right? Well unfortunately, it turns out that it is possible to have a LifeCycle Controller that is so far out of date that it is not compatible with the signatures used on the newest packages and will fail to download the catalog.
This is exactly what happened on one of my new Rs. Once the LifeCycle Controller is updated it should be fully functional again. Updating the firmwares with the LifeCycle Controller is very straight forward. To start, boot the server up and hit F10 to enter the System Services. It will take a little while before the server fully loads the Unified Server Configurator environment.
The server will need to be on the network and have access to the internet. If the network is unavailable the LifeCycle controller will not be able to continue. Select finish when done. Stick with the default server ftp. Click Next and the server should then reach out and download the latest catalog. If the LifeCycle is way out of date, this is where it will fail. Select the desired firmwares and then click on Apply to install the updates.
If you are updating the iDrac and currently logged into it, you will want to exit out at this point and let the server do its thing. After a reboot the server and its components should now be up to date. If the LifeCycle Controller failed to download the catalog and install the updates, continue on to the next section. Note that the SUU package is rather large at around 10Gb. I generally stick with the default options.
Select all of the files in the root folder and then copy and paste them into the SUU folder on the bootable USB drive that was just created.
